Speck SmartFlex Card for iPhone 5 and 5S

On the run? Looking to travel light? Speck's SmartFlex Card case is your quick wallet alternative. The unique design of this iPhone 5 or 5S case allows you to carry up to 3 cards (or folded bills) securely in the built-in side-loading slot. A handy thumb release gives you access to your cards whenever you need them. Durable and lightweight, the SmartFlex Card case provides protection for your iPhone while giving you a great way to slim down your "baggage". A raised bezel around the screen and rubberized button covers add protection and grip, Case flexes on and off easily.

Lab Tested, Proven Protection

Every Speck case delivers Proven Protection. Speck's lab has put them through a battery of tests including standing up to extreme temperatures, and resisting scratches and even everyday spills like greasy suntan lotion. If it doesn't pass, Speck won't sell it.

I bought this case when I purchased my iPhone 5 as I had a card carrier case from Casemate for my iPhone 4 that I really liked, but it was a bit hard to get the cards out. After using this for a couple weeks, here are my thoughts:

The Good:- Case fits snugly but can be taken on and off relatively easily due to the flex design.- Case has a nice bezel around the display so that it does protect the class when set face down.- Cards slide in pretty easily (much more than my previous case)- Cards have not slipped out yet and seem to stay secure- I can put in my drivers license, ATM card, and cash in together which is VERY convenient

The Bad:- The button covers are very stiff so pushing the top button or volume buttons, you really have to push down hard. If not for that, it would be 5 stars.

I had the CandyShell Card case for my iPhone 4 and I liked it much better. I'm still going to hold onto this case because I really like the wallet feature, but I wish they made a CandyShell Card for the iPhone 5.

Why did I like my old case better? The SmartFlex doesn't fit as snugly. I feel like the front screen isn't as well protected because the phone slips slightly in the case so the screen isn't protected behind the raised bezel. I know that seems like a minor thing, but it just doesn't seem like it protects my phone as well, and isn't that the point of a case?

Also, the power button doesn't work as well in this case. I feel like I have to push it harder and it doesn't "click."

On the plus side, though, it seems slimmer than the CandyShell Card. (Maybe that's just because the iPhone 5 itself is slimmer; I'm not sure.) My husband likes this because it is easier to keep in his pocket. I prefer the bulkier CandyShell Card because I feel like it protects my phone better.

And of course it is very convenient to hold 3 cards in my phone.

I also wish there were more color options. I'm not really a fan of any of them. It would be nice to have a classy burgundy, chocolate, or other "jewel tone" colors like navy blue, plum, deep teal, etc. I'd like something more professional-looking.

NOTE: The "Pomodoro" color is just red. The picture makes it look a little muted, but it is a bright red.

UPDATE--3 MONTHS LATER: I recommend getting the black. I got gray and it is showing stains on it. In some places it looks like the material has picked up dye from my jeans and in some places it looks like the finish has worn off. I'm not rough on my phones by any means, so this is disappointing that the case looks dirty. It's not major--definitely still usable without being gross or anything--but I would certainly be worried about getting one of the lighter colors!

I had an otterbox commuter series case, and I was not happy because it made the iPhone 5 heavy and bulky, not so with this case, I can fit my work ID, driver license and debit card with no issues, the case had a perfect fit and did not add too much to the size or weight of the phone. The camera and flash are not even close to being obstructed which was important to me. Also you don't have to worry about having to fidget with getting your cards, ID, etc out since you can push them out from the other side which makes access to them a breeze. The two cons people might have an issue with is that the bottom headphone jack and charging port are not covered like they are with an otterbox, I found this a convenience but some might object. Also there is no muffle to the speakers as they have little holes to let the sound out which the otterbox did not have. Overall very satisfied and will be ordering one for my daughter as well.

I really like this case and how it allows me to forgo carrying a wallet. But I am only able to comfortably fit 1 credit card, 1 driver's, and two $20 bills (wrapped around the license). If I could fit 1-2 more cards (without it becoming so tight that I can hardly get them out), I'd like it even more.

One thing that I did to make my cards slide in and out even easier was to use a pair of scissors to shave a fraction of a millimeter off of the width of each card. So I suspect that if Speck made the card slot ~1mm wider, it would work better. And if the card slot was taller too (to allow more cards to fit) that would also be an improvement IMO.

My one other minor complaint is about the color. I had the iPhone 4 SmartFlex case in the "Soot" color, which is a dark matte grey that I really liked. I blindly assumed that the iPhone 5 SmartFlex case colors would be the same, but the "Graphite Grey" case that I got is a significantly lighter color than the "Soot" and I don't like it nearly as much.

Ever since the 3GS, I've been using Case-mate's ID case to carry my ID and one credit card with my phone. Unfortunately this time, they had no ETA on when they'd release the iPhone 5 version so I checked out the competition.

If you've used Case-mate's case, it's slim, convenient, and the cards are removed near the top of the phone. However, compared to Speck's case, it doesn't protect nearly as well, if at all. While I personally don't drop my phones all that much, my wife did crack a front screen dropping her iPhone 4.

With this case, it seems like a lot of the deficiencies of the CM case are fixed here. This case holds 3 cards comfortably and even 4 cards if you want to cram it. For instance, you can put your ID and paper thin insurance card in the case along with 2 CC's if you're so inclined. This may be important for some people. This case also has a lip over the front screen which offers slightly more protection than Case-mate's ID case that historically did not cover the front of the phone.

After rocking the iPhone 5 naked for a couple of weeks, I will say this case seems awfully thick compared to the naked phone. However, when compared with my iPhone 4S with the Case-mate case, it's about the same thickness. I guess once I get used to it, it won't be a big deal any more.

The rubber used on this case is somewhere between a hard shell and a soft elastic rubber. If I had to describe it, I would say it feels like the rubber duckies used in bath toys. While I'm not really interested in dropping the phone to see how well this protects it, I think it'll definitely help with cushioning the phone from the drop.

Overall, I would recommend it. If you must have an ID case and you want one that can carry 3 to 4 cards, this is your best option (and maybe the only option at the time of this writing) right now.
